“Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” A Crossover For The Ages

Published

on

Cowabunga dudes and dudettes! Fans were given an extra special treat at WonderCon’s final panel of 2019. DC’s latest animated adventure made its world premiere almost two months ahead of its Blu-Ray release.

Marking a crossover event for the ages, “Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” stars Troy Baker (Batman/Joker), Darren Criss (Raphael), Eric Bauza (Leonardo), Kyle Mooney (Michelangelo), Baron Vaughn (Donatello), Rachel Bloom (Batgirl), Ben Giroux (Robin), Andrew Kishino (Shredder), Cas Anvar (Ra’s Al Ghul), and Tara Strong (Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy).

While too many details about the film can’t be given this far ahead of it’s release, it can be said that this latest venture into the DC Universe proves to be not only brooding and action-packed, but also fun and light-hearted. After the screening, select members of the cast and crew took the stage including producer Ben Jones, director Jake Castorena, screenwriter Marly Halpern-Graser, and actors Troy Baker, Eric Bauza, Cas Anvar, Andrew Kishino, and Ben Giroux. “Getting to portray Robin was fun because you get the seriousness of the Batman world, but you also get the comedy of the Ninja Turtle characters.

I feel Robin kind of bridges that gap.” said Giroux. “This is probably the first job I’ve had in all my years where I’ve portrayed a character using my own voice.” Said Bauza, who is probably best known as the current voice of several Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Marvin Martian. Bauza continued, “So just as a teenager trying not to show vulnerability I was trying to not show vulnerability by not disguing my own voice.”

Baker revealed while playing the dual roles of Joker and Batman (the first time this has ever been done by a single actor on one project) he did both roles in script order at the same time, switching between characters. “The director, the writers, and producers, all have a vision as to what they want it to sound like, so we all just decided to do it in script order. It turned out great.”

Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is available on Digital May 14th and Blu-Ray and DVD June 4th.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
